Ok this is kinda calling myself out on this one cuz it is quite embarrassing. I took my braids down on Sunday and washed yesterday to prepare for a fresh set of braids next week. I have about 3 1/4 inches of new growth but I got so frustrated with the stringy relaxed ends that I started to just started to chop off the relaxed hair in the back. My fiance walked in the door and I said, "wanna help?" he looked mad and said "why would i help in something I don't agree with." At that point I felt stupid and really impatient b/c I impusively started to hack away at my hair. It wasn't like I was shaving it bald but just cutting off all the relaxed hair. The thing is that I told him I wouldn't until my natural got a certain length, he has never seen me w. short hair and never wants to. He wants me to have hair down my back like when I was younger. I have no problem with that b/c I want it too. So, needless to say I only cut off the relaxed hair on the back portion of my head. So I am just barely 1/4 natural. I have my hair in two cornrowed extensions to cover the part in the back where I cut off my relaxed ends. it doesn't look terrible but I am ashamed to show my fiance cuz I dont want him to start going off about how I should have waited until my natural hair got at least to the base of my neck. I guess now all I need is some reasurance that what I did wasn't TOTALLY stupid.

No it wasn't totally stupid. Curiosity about your natural hair will do that sometimes. And you're going bach into braids anyway so you know what you want to do and you just started a lil earlier. I'm not natural but I have lurked around the decision and attempted to transition many times. I'm relaxed but I commend your bravery and support your decision. This will also help you understand your natural tresses better than having to deal with the stringy relaxed part. Grow girl!
